Default Auto Highlighting!!

I use Excel to service appraisal reports.. pretty much have the info
logged in with the due date of the report..

What I want to have happen is that when the report is late it will
automaticlly highlight the whole row..

When is "late"?

Today is late?

Assuming due date in E1

Select the entire row and FormatConditional FormattingCondition1Formula is:

=$E$1<=TODAY()

Format to a pattern color you like and OK your way out.

Hi,

FormatConditional FormattingCondition1Formula is:

=$E1=TODAY() for due reports
Format to a pattern color say green
FormatConditional FormattingCondition2Formula is:

=$E1=TODAY() for past due reports
Format to a pattern color say red

if you want whole row be colored you should copy cell E1 and past especial
formatting to all cells
